Yes, using uppercase characters in package names violates the packages guidlines, see http://www.fukt.bth.se/~per/crux/doc/handbook.html#Package-Guidelines-General btw, please fix your WMmp port.

When having multiple packages with the same name, I'd suggest to contact the other maintainer(s) to see what to do, since it might make more sense to rename on or the other, or even all(/both). Using my crystal ball, I figured that you probably want to port MuSE (Multiple Streaming Engine), which is registered at freshmeat as "MuSE Streamer". The obvious ports name is would therefore be 'muse-streamer'. > However I can't get it to compile atm... See the attached log. google should help you there: inchannels.cpp:543: error: `errno' undeclared As a final note, this is clc-devel, covering "Discussion about the development of CLC itself". Since your question is not related to CLC, and your port probably won't end up in CLC's contrib, such questions should really be discussed in the crux mailing list, both because clc-devel is not the authoritive source to discuss/answer generic questions regarding CRUX/ports, but also to make sure the other packagers can join the discussion, and learn from the results.

This directory is meant to be used by ports that need an empty directory for things like chroot, such as openssh, openntpd, etc. So, if you run into any such port in the future you know there's a directory available for this purpose. (btw, the openssh port doesn't use this new dir at this very moment but I plan to change that soon) /Per From jw at tks6.net Sun Sep 18 21:24:03 2005 From: jw at tks6.net (Johannes Winkelmann) Date: Sun, 18 Sep 2005 23:24:03 +0200 Subject: [clc-devel] applicant for becoming a CLC maintainer In-Reply-To: <20050823131752.39364.qmail@web32910.mail.mud.yahoo.com> References: <20050823115546.GA746@titanium> <20050823131752.39364.qmail@web32910.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Message-ID: <20050918212403.GG10564@titanium> Hey, On Tue, Aug 23, 2005 at 06:17:52 -0700, Jay Dolan wrote: > > > --- Johannes Winkelmann wrote: > > That said, I'd vote in favour of adding you as a > > maintainer, but would > > like to hear a second opinion. > > > > I looked over your ports, and indeed, they do look > quite nice.

I just talked to Simon, and he confirmed that he looked into CVS a bit. We also had a few discussions about ports, and he's taking over gnucash from my httpup, so I feel that the time has come to give him the chance to maintain those ports at CLC.

It seems the REPO files isn't updated to reflect the actual files the reporitories have. Of course, the result is that "ports -u" always downloads a few files, even though I already have them. base/filesystem and opt/openssh seems to be two examples of ports that suffer from this. Could someone check that the REPO files are updated correctly with every sync against the CVS repos? /Per From jw at tks6.net Tue Sep 20 14:34:59 2005 From: jw at tks6.net (Johannes Winkelmann) Date: Tue, 20 Sep 2005 16:34:59 +0200 Subject: [clc-devel] CLC httpup repos In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <20050920143459.GA19551@titanium> Hi, On Tue, Sep 20, 2005 at 13:09:49 +0200, Per Liden wrote: > Hi, > > I've noticed that something isn't completely right with the CLC > base/opt/contrib httpup repositories.
